Jerry Jones, the general manager, will never relinquish that title with the Dallas Cowboys. Much like Jerry Jones, the owner, will never sell the team. During his twice-weekly radio show, Jones was asked whether he ever would step down as the general manager. The answer was no way. "We are not structured that way," Jones told KRLD-FM on Tuesday morning. "We didn't structure it that way with my ownership. There's no way that I would be involved here and not be the final decision-maker on something as important as players, and that is a key area. That's never been anybody's misunderstanding. It's been a debated thing, but it's just not going to happen." Source: ESPN.com
Solid reasoning on Jerrys part there. Why would you want to have an experienced football person who has dedicated their life to understanding the intricacies of the game run your team, when you can have a semi-psychotic business dude who does it on the side instead? Al Davis might have been insane but he was, at least for a while, a brilliant football mind who spent his life in the game and for the team.
This is news because...? Didn't we already know this? I could have told you this. Nothing to see here, folks. Just move along.
Hopefully, no. But, knowing JJ, he's probably got some provision in his will saying the GM position stays in the family.
